The experience will come to life on an interactive pitch at the FIFA Fan Festival in Doha, Qatar. As Visa invites thousands of fans to create their own legendary moves in the free-standing Visa Masters of Movement space. It will allow fans to create digital art inspired by their own signature movements.
